My Stocks 3.0.0.0
For those who need a simple means of monitoring only the stocks they are interested in there are some utilities that can be put to god use on most Windows Phone devices and My Stocks is among them.
Clean and uncomplicated layout
The application has a decent look, with an interface focused on practical use and lacking any adornments that would make it visually appealing. The data is displayed in a clear and easy to read manner, with color highlights for the more relevant figures.
Moving around the app is fluent, while the update frequency for the contained data is around 30 minutes. There are some visible nuisances you will come across and they come in the form of some animated adverts that plague the lower side of the screen, no matter the section you are currently visiting.
Quickly add and edit shares to the main screen
My Stocks offers a very simple approach to creating your personal watch list by providing a search feature or by allowing you to enter directly the stock symbol to add it to the monitoring.
You can specify the quantity of shares you bought and also the price you paid for them and this data will be used to calculate your profit or loss. At any moment you have the possibility to edit the information from the dedicated area.
Detailed view with charts and news for each stock
The utility follows a lot of reputed sources in order to bring you the latest information closely related to each symbol you included on the main list. The articles can be shared or sent via email with a couple of taps.
To help you get a graphical overview regarding the evolution of every stock in your portfolio, the "Charts" section displays the data corresponding to various intervals, ranging from a single day and spanning up to the last 5 years.

Bottom Line
Design / UI7
This application comes with a tidy look, not too appealing but with a decent design and offering a smooth experience, with the exception of the advertisement banners. |
Function9
This tool serves its purpose quite well and provides all the necessary tools for watching over a set of shares, without getting too complicated with several portfolios or following stock markets as a whole. |
Security6
Despite the simple character of the app, it needs to look into a bit too many system areas unrelated to its functionality. |
Battery6
The utility takes up a noticeable amount of power to function properly, especially when updating the data, so the battery usage is moderate to high. |
Price9
For anyone who is interested in tracking the evolution of a select group of stocks, this app is very well suited, as long as the user is willing to put up with the continuous stream of ads. |
Compatibility8
Tailored for the more recent handsets, My Stocks runs only on devices powered by Windows Phone 8 and above. |
